CHICAGO (AP) — Senate appointee Roland Burris has plans to speak before ministers and supporters before he departs for Washington.
Embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich appointed Burris to Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat last week, but Senate Democratic leaders say they'll reject any appointee named by Blagojevich.
Burris says he will attend a Sunday evening prayer vigil at a church on Chicago's South Side before addressing his supporters. The group is coordinated by U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush.
Burris also is scheduled to appear Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

Just heard on the radio that Harry et al. have agreed to use no armed guards tomorrow. Burris will be allowed into the senate, but will not be allowed to vote. Maybe somebody (me, maybe) can find something to post on this....
Thanks for the update. I hope we hear that fists were flying.
just enjoy the ride. these four years are going to be fun :)
